Leo Babauta gives great advice on forming new habits. As you think about the habits that need to change in your life, read this thought provoking post.
"Here's the process:
Start small. What's the smallest increment you can do? Do this for at least 3 days, preferably 4-5.
Get started. Starting the change each day is the most important thing. Want to run? Just get out the door. Want to meditate? Just get on the cushion.
Enjoy the change. Don't look at this as a sacrifice. It's fun, it's learning, it's a challenge.
Stick to the change. Notice your urge to quit. Don't act on it. Keep going.
Adjust again. When the change becomes normal, make another small adjustment.
This is the process of creating a new normal. It's beautiful and simple."
